Michael Patrick Molloy was born in Newport Beach, California in 1978. He was raised in the Southern California towns of Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu along with his two brothers and two sisters by Irish Catholic parents. His father is a corporate attorney and his mother is a Catholic school teacher. His interest in the JFK assassination was initially piqued at the age of 5, in 1983, when he came across the Time Life 20th anniversary issue of JFK's assassination at his grandparent's house. Upon looking at the pictures in the magazine (which he probably shouldn't have been doing), he knew that something very bad had happened to an important man. He attended Catholic grammar school at St. Martin of Tours School in Brentwood, CA, graduating with honors at entrance to Loyola High School College Preparatory in Los Angeles, CA. He also received the Gold Medal for his service as an altar boy for 6 years from Pope John Paul II. His interest into the assassination was furthered in high school by reading various books on the crime by Mark Lane, Robert Blakey, and Jim Maars as well as in later years by Gerald Posner and Vincent Bugliosi. Oliver Stone's film, "JFK," as well as the BBC/History Channel broadcasts of the series "The Men Who Killed Kennedy," also heavily influenced him to research the greatest unsolved crime of the 20th century. He wrote a term paper for a history class in high school, for which he received an A+, based upon the theory that the assassination was put together by organized crime figures such as Carlos Marcello, Santos Trafficante, and Sam "Momo" Giancana.
In 1999, Mike visited his brother Sean in Dallas for Sean's graduation from Southern Methodist University. While on this trip, he took the tour of the old Texas School Book Depository, which is now the JFK Assassination Museum. With great reverence for the murder of our president, Mike took in the scope of what had happened there in Dealey Plaza, November 22nd, 1963. The small size of Dealey Plaza and the relative close proximity of the probable shooting spots, from both the 6th floor window and the fence on the grassy knoll, amazed Mike. John J. Molloy III, Mike's father and a crack shot in the US Army during the Vietnam War, remarked that he could have made the shot from the TSBD with a scoped rifle. Mike took a permanent black marker, stood behind the fence on the grassy knoll, and penned the words, "The greates crime ever committed against the American people," on the back of the picket fence on the grassy knoll. Mike went on to attend the University of Arizona where he majored in History and Political Science. At UofA he wrote more papers on the the different theories of what cabals where behind the assassination, including: The Mafia, Cuban-Exiles, Rogue CIA Agents and rich Texas Oil-men. He continues to be enthralled by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and its implications not only for the American people, but for the world as a whole. Its aftermath spawned incredible distrust of the federal government and produced the climates for which the Vietnam War, Watergate, and the Iran-Contra Affair all flourished. Mike is of the firm belief that Oswald did not act alone, whether he was the lone shooter or not, and that a combination of rich Texas Oil-men (H.L. Hunt and Clint Murchison) funded the hit, the Mafia (Marcello, Trafficante, Hoffa, Roselli, Martino, and Giancana) organized the hit, and that both disgruntled rogue CIA agents and elements (such as David Morales, Rip Robertson, E. Howard Hunt, David Atlee Phillips, Ted Shackley, Clay Shaw and Frank Sturgis), vengeful Cuban Exiles (Eladio del Valle, Sergio Arcacha Smith, Tony Varona, Rolando Masferrer, and Herminio Diaz Garcia) as well as militant right-wingers, criminals, and anti-Castroites (David Ferrie, Guy Banister, Eugene Brading, and Loran Hall) took part on an operational level. The conspiracy was covered up to avoid any disclosure of what the government knew and the dirty Cold War tricks and collusions they were involved in, all under the premise that full disclosure could lead to nuclear war or the dissolution of the US Federal Government. Mike believes that the full scope of the crime and the conspiracy will never be uncovered, as the figures at the top and in the shadows wiped out all those liabilities which could lead back to them, starting with the assasin himself.
